(AsiaGameHub) – On March 18, Australia’s communications regulator ACMA instructed local internet service providers to block eight illegal online gaming and affiliate websites for breaching the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The blocked sites included CuntSpin, Frumzi, Great Win, MyStake, Oh My Spins, RetroBet, The Dog House 2 Slot and Viperwin.
Website blocking is one of multiple law enforcement measures used to protect Australians from illegal online gambling.
ACMA has blocked a total of 1,564 illegal gambling and affiliate websites since it submitted its first blocking request in November 2019. Additionally, since the rollout of new illegal online gambling regulations in 2017, over 225 illegal services have been removed from the Australian market.
ACMA warns consumers that even if a service appears legitimate, it does not offer sufficient customer protections, which raises the risk of financial loss for Australians who use illegal gambling services.
ACMA urges Australian players to check if a wagering service holds a license to operate in Australia. To support this, ACMA has published a register of licensed interactive gambling providers.
